Personal

Alli is the oldest of 10 children and has sought every opportunity to achieve excellence in her life. Alli has competed in bodybuilding and was nationally qualified as a bikini competitor. She is also a trained salsa dancer and has competed in the World Latin Dance Cup in Miami. Alli has a passion for high-achieving intellectuals because she is aware of how the drive to achieve can take a toll on one’s mental health if other aspects of the personhood are not balanced. Alli believes that achieving whole health can only occur after one accounts for the functioning of the mind, body, and spirit in conjunction.
